Keeping things where they are to save your job when you have money savings at stake should be criminal. CFOs who have never seen a benefits expense report to analyze data for benefits trends of the company's benefits spend should also be criminal. Middle-market companies are renewing their health plans right now, and most don't look outside of a square box for answers. HR does not want to upset the executive board or the employee base.

Inflation is hurting businesses more than ever. CFOs are looking at strategies to grow the company and control overall costs. Yet they delegate the third highest expense to middle management. Human Resources does not have a financial incentive for the company’s bottomline. It could be costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars just so your CFO can ignore it.
